We looked at this 5th wheel at a dealership in Nova Scotia, Canada.
At first glance this unit had the layout we thought we could comfortably live with during our summer travels.
Once we decided to purchase the unit, my wife and I went back to look more closely at the construction details. We made a "punch list" of 35 items that needed repair before we would take the vehicle.
When we returned in two weeks to pick the vehicle up the items listed were repaired. Kudos's to the dealer.
Within the first month of operation things started to go wrong. The kitchen slide was out of alignment, the rubber seals came off because they were attached with only silicone, the bedroom slide was not attached to the floor, the converter did not work after one week, the hot water heater element did not work, so we needed to use propane all the time, there was a crack in the waste tank elbow that leaked constantly, the water pressure was terrible and was caused by a kink in the main water line, the water valve on the toilet leaked when hooked to city water, the two windows and the entrance doors leaked as well as two bunk doors, the lock on the entrance door stopped working and the very worst among all these problems was when the converter was replaced.
I was there when this unit was replaced by a dealer and I could not believe my eyes. The people who put this vehicle together made a hole in the bulkhead to run the power cable through. This hole was made by beating the plywood with a hammer, leaving sharp pieces of plywood rubbing against the power cables with every bump in the road.
Would I purchase another vehicle from a US manufacture...NO.

I would strongly discourage anyone from buying and Forest River Sabre Product. We purchased our new June/ 2015. The day we took delivery of this unit there were several things that were either not working or defective. The dealer told us to take it and the bring it back later to have these items repaired. The first time we used it we entered the trailer and found mouldings, valances and blinds that were either loose or had fallen off. All either not fastened at all or fastened poorly. When taken back to the dealer over 30 items needed to be repaired. June/2017 we are still waiting for some of these to be repaired. Forest River Sabre has been Terrible in addressing these problems. The quality of this unit is terrible, no quality control by Forest River. We were sold on the floor plan and initially thought we were buying a good product. We were fooled, it is junk, Forest River does not stand behind its product. It should not take 2 years to get warranty items repaired. I do not recommend anything built by Forest River
